Recap and goals for 7/4

Looking back over the week I didn't do too great with my goals.  I did realize that it's not because I'm lazy, but because I'm busy.  I didn't make it to the gym as much as I wanted to and I didn't write a single thing down.   I work from the time I get up to the time I go to bed and when I was up until 11 and my alarm went off at 4:00 (because Dustin had to be to work early) I'll be honest, I didn't get up and go to the gym.  I expected a huge gain, but ended up losing 2 pounds. Must have been all of that hard work.  That puts me 45 pounds away from my goal.  Since I shouldn't be losing I'm not going to worry about keeping track of anything this week (not that I do it anyway).  I am just going to:

-Concentrate on eating about 5 small healthy meals a day
-Exercise at least 5 days this week
-Work on flexibility twice this week
-Only one dessert (sugar) for the rest of the week
-Try to find some balance...This is my biggest struggle right now.  I know that no matter what I need to find some time to take care of myself, but it's SO HARD!  We tend to put our families first and at the end of the day there is nothing left for ourselves and I'm going to try to come up with a plan this week.  It took some work, but I tried this yesterday.  I woke up with so much work to do, but I decided to go to the gym even if I couldn't stay for an hour.  I was so glad I did and my day went so much better because I did.  I have to convince myself that even if I only have 15 or 20 minutes that is better than nothing.

So, how was your week?  Reading Marla's post last week did help me get back on track mid-week and get me going again.  Are we really going to change our lives girls?
